Today's I Ching for Sigmund Freud
The coins have been tossed...
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 8 - Pi (Union): There is good fortune, but let him reexamine himself. Let him divine whether his virtue be great, unremitting, and firm. If it be so, there will be no error. Those who have not rested will then come to him. With those who are too late in coming, it will be ill. | | The fifth line, undivided, affords the most illustrious instance of seeking union and attachment. We seem to see in it the king urging his pursuit of the game only in three directions, and allowing the escape of all the animals before him, while the people of his towns do not warn one another to prevent it. There will be good fortune. | | In the topmost line, divided, we see one seeking union and attachment without having taken the first step to such an end. There will be evil. | | The situation is shifting, but neither Yin (the passive feminine force) nor Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 23 - Po (Splitting Apart): It will not be advantageous to move in any direction whatever. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'an (Water), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, danger and the unknown are giving way to stillness and obstruction. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'un (Earth), which represents docility and receptivity. |
